my personal challenge tune is Jerusalem Ridge, I think I am going to the Earl Scruggs play it 1000 times but it seems like i need to do it on each part. lol. I am not in the least bored but I do find that my arm gets tired before I get through the whole tune. This is obviously the reason why old timers play so fast. Haha. Just kidding. But I […] View

    That was very good, Marg; a nice light touch, fine tone and timing, and you sway to the beat as well….Hip-Hip!!

    Patty, that was really good. I loved the second string crossing to the lower octave; sounded so cool. A good flow throughout! A special song, I think.

    Why do we play music? For most of the answer is, “I do it for fun and enjoyment.”

    Here’s another reason people start playing an instrument: they want to upgrade their thinking.

    Nice!

    I fixed the link for you. It should look like “https://youtu.be/sNADk1KnXK0”

    instead of:

    I’ve been practicing chordal scales. Here I added it to an old-time tune called Rickett’s Hornpipe.

    Liked it Debbie, especially the slides and double stops in the second half! Also, noticed a nice flexible wrist, which I am jealous of!😁

    Ask questions as you practice. Don’t worry about the answer. The question brings awareness to what you’re doing.

    Ask questions before, during and after a practice session

      Hey Lisa, Thanks for mentioning your experience, sorry we couldn’t help you that day. May be good to email Jason for potentially a quicker response in situations like these. I checked the calendar and noticed the 9AM PT open practise was scheduled for April 18 so you may have missed it by a day. There are instances where sometimes the wrong zoom link goes out, so if it’s not automatically opening the session shortly after the scheduled time, check your email for an updated link.
      To my knowledge, these practise sessions will start right around the scheduled time on Zoom with a welcome intro, then practising together where you are muted, Jason is not muted so you can either mute your own sound to fully focus on your own practise, or choose to listen/watch whats going on for him/others, and then closer to the end of the session there is a discussion together.
      I hope it lines up for you to join another day.

    One of my SPC goals is to learn and play songs on the fiddle. I’m starting by strumming the fiddle like a mandolin, which is easier. I’ll work towards being able to bow and sing songs.
